Discuss Acts 2 Page 47

Hello Jacob The prophesy concerning Acts 2 38 is actually found in Isaiah 28 11 "For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people ". Then it is stated in Joel 2 28 and 29 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. It was repeated by Peter in Acts 2 16 thru 18. The Gentiles in Acts 10 were baptized in the name of the LORD, Acts 10 48. It is the same baptism. During this Grace Age in order to be saved a person has to follow Acts 2 38.

Many will be in Hell for allowing the Devil to deceive them on this verse. Acts transitions from the law to grace. Watch out for those who stay in verse 38. The same Peter who preached this message to Jews verse 5, on the day of Petecost verse 1, which is a Jewish feast, see Lev 23 15 16, not an experience, is the same Peter that was shown by God in Acts 10 the Gentiles were to receive the Spirit by faith without baptism see verse 47. And this doctrine was established in Acts 15 and Peter know it, see vs 9. Water baptism especially Jewish water baptism will only get you wet.

act 2 38 is true way to saved

Hello Geraldene Leonard In Luke 7 29 and 30. John the Baptist was a forerunner for Jesus Christ. He verily baptized saying to the people that they should believe on him that should come after him. However, after the Holy Ghost fell on the Day of Pentecost and Peter stood up and declared what it took to be saved then from that point up until now and until the rapture takes place people have to follow Acts 2 38 to be saved. There was 12 men who were baptized by John the Baptist who lived after the Holy Ghost fell that had to be rebaptized correctly. So Paul baptized them in Jesus name and when he laid his hands on them they were filled with the Holy Ghost and spake with tongues, Acts 19 1 through 7.

Hello Geraldene Leonard In addition to my comment, when you read Mark 16 you have to read the whole thing. This is called The Great Commission. It starts from verse 15 to 18. Jesus Christ states this statement before he is ascended up into heaven. Jesus Christ is talking in future tense. How we know he is talking in future tense is because in verse 17 he states, "they shall speak with new tongues ". The outpouring of the Holy Ghost had not fell yet. It did not fall until on the Day of Pentecost which is noted in Acts 2.

Hello Geraldene Leonard I do not recall ever telling anyone that while Jesus Christ was walking the Earth that they had to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have always stated and maintained that you have to have Acts 2 38 now that we are under the Grace Age. The same comment that I made to you about the thief I made to someone else earlier in postings. I do not believe I stated in this posting 12 13 14 9 36 pm under here that you had to be baptized during the Law. Acts 2 38 came after Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. Acts 2 38 came after the Holy Ghost fell on the day of Pentecost. Also I have also pointed out Acts 19 1 thru 7 where 12 men who were baptized by John the Baptist under the Law was rebaptized under Grace by Paul with the correct baptism.

Hello Robinson, I know Christ did not lie to the thief. So if you had to be baptized while Christ was fulfilling the law before the Crucifixion as you said and that 's true and you can find that in Mark Ch.16 V. 16 also in Luke Ch. 7 Vs. 29,30. Then you tell me why you 're telling everyone if it 's Grace after the Cross WHY you 're telling everyone how to be baptized in Acts Ch. 2 V.38? I 'm sure anyone who looks back through your comments will find I 'm telling the truth.

Part 2 of 2 If a thief today does not repent and change his wicked ways and does not follow Acts 2 38 and he dies still in the sin of thievery he is not going to heaven. Deuteronomy 25 16 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God. In the scriptures you will further find more things that God hat. 1 Corinthians 6 9 10 Know ye not that unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. These are just a few of many sins and things that God does not like.

Part 1 of 2 Hello Geraldene Leonard No, Jesus did not lie to the thief. When Jesus walked this Earth he was in the dispensation of the Law, Romans 10 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. The Grace Dispensation did not happen until after the Holy Ghost fell on the day of Pentecost. The thief did not have to speak in tongues as the spirit of God give utterance because there was no outpouring of the Holy Ghost during this time because Jesus had not ascended into heaven yet. However, now that we are up under the grace age, you must have it like Acts 2 38 says.

If baptism is so essential to salvation how did the thief that died with Christ on the cross get into paradise with Christ before Christ set the captive believers free before taking them with Him into Heaven? I 'm glad I 'm not adding anything except what Christ did for me on that old rugged Cross, His Death, Blood and Resurrection for all my sins. Christ took my place. Amen and Halleluiah.

Hello M. Shipton I am glad that you are saved. Continue in the walk because we do not have long to be here. I do not know, neither does anyone else know exactly when Jesus will return, but we know it is soon. It is closer than when we first believed, " Romans 13 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed . God time is not our time.

I was raised in a non apostolic church and followed Romans 10 9 8 fully believing this doctrine but after repenting numerous times I stil knew I was not saved. Most people believe in God but do they truly seek him or believe others. Isaiah 28 9 11 teaches that we must view the entire bible abd that God will speak through us with new tonhues but many wont see. I praise Jesus for allowing me find salvation through obeying Acts 2 38 and pray in his name that others will also find him and notice that in Romans 6 the church had followed the Acts doctrine and where alreadt saved.

Hello Ron This remission of sin that is spoken of here is twofold. One it is forgiveness for all the sin that you have committed up to that point of following Acts 2 38. Man may not forgive but God does. Two it is forgiveness for sin you did not have anything to do with that was caused by Adam when he sinned in the Garden of Eden. Romans 5 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned In both cases this sin will not be remembered anymore, Isaiah 43 25 and Hebrews 8 12. Now does this mean that you will not get in trouble for committing sin after this? No, it does not. Now that you have gotten forgiveness from the original sin that Adam did and the sins you have committed you should make every effort not to sin again or go back into what you were doing before you got forgiveness.

Remission is only temporary

Hello Mario You are absolutely correct. There is one name Jesus Christ. He is God manifested in the flesh. Jesus Christ said it, Peter clarified it on the day of Pentecost, and the Apostles carried it out. People must be born again of water and spirit in order to enter into the kingdom of heaven. Acts 4 12 "Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Now The Question Was "Men And Brethren, What Shall We Do ? " Peter 's Answer Was Clear And Said "Repent, and be Baptized In The Name of Jesus Christ for the remission Of Sins, and Ye Shal Receive the gift Of The holy ghost " The Answer Is Clear . Another Thing I Would Like To Comment On Is This Matthew 28 19 "Go ye Therefore, and teach all nations baptizing them in the Name "not names " Of The Father , and of the son and of the holy ghost " What Is The Name Of the Father ? Jesus What Is the Name Of The Son Jesus And What Is The Name Of The Holy Ghost ? Jesus. In The Name Of Jesus Christ . One More Thing We Where Created In God 's Image ... Now When I Look In The Mirror I Only See One Not Three . One God And His Name Is Jesus Christ .

Coming together in Christ

Hello Jerry M. Leonard The word seal may mean the same however, it is referring to two different seals. In Romans 4 11 it is referring to in Abraham day when the seal of the righteousness was sealed with the circumcising of the young males. The seal in Revelation 7 2 is referring to the seal of God placed on the foreheads of the 144,000 out of the 12 tribes of the Jews.

Part 2 of 2 Also when a preacher says over a person while baptizing them that he is baptizing that person in the Holy Ghost, he stated a lie. No man or woman can give, or baptize, or impart to another person the gift of the Holy Ghost. This is a gift that comes directly from God. He is the only one that can give the Holy Ghost which is his spirit.

Part 1 of 2 Hello Ar Jesus said it, Peter clarified it on the day of Pentecost, and the Apostles carried it out. There is nowhere found in the Book of Acts which is the beginning of the true church where anyone was baptized with the Apostle or preacher calling Father, Son, and Holy Ghost over them. When you read in the Book of Acts, even when it states in the name of the Lord, it is understood that you use a name. The Apostles never called over the people they baptized the titles that Jesus Christ held. They called the name. His name is Jesus Christ. Acts 4 12 Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Robinson 12 04 2014 12 25 The word seal is in Romans 4,11 that 's same word in Revelation 7 2 and they both haves same meaning.

To Joe 's Act2 verse 38 remark. please see Mat. Chapter 28 verses 18 to end. I also quote "18 and Jesus came and spake unto them,saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.19 Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you lo,I am with you always,even unto the end of the world.Amen. By having done the wish of Jesus, you bury the old safe and rise as a new born in Christ.

Hello Sonny Also, when you say the trinity in terms of worshiping three different beings there is no trinity. There is not three in the Godhead bodily. There is only one that holds all three positions or titles and his name is Jesus Christ. Colossians 2 9 "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 1 Timothy 3 16 " And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Hello Sonny Let me clarify. It was not wind. It was sound that came through as a rushing mighty wind. The point I was trying to convey to Jerry that it was not vapor that was spoken of in the description of the Holy Ghost. You cannot see sound and you cannot see wind this is the comparison I was trying to make. Also, if God can make fire that does not consume, then he can make wind that does not blow everything away. I just believe that God can do anything, but fail. However, whether it was sound or sounds that came in like a rushing mighty wind or wind itself, the point is that the Holy Ghost is very real and you need it in order to get out of here.

Part 3 of 3 The baptism is so important that in Acts 19 1 7 these 12 men had to be rebaptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Jesus said it Peter clarified it on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2 38, the Apostles carried it out. Even Paul who is the Gentiles Apostle baptized Acts 19 1 thru 7. Baptism is very important and part of the salvation plan.

Part 2 of 3 Colossians 3 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. The baptism means to submerge in water. The Greek word baptizo means to dip or to plunge. The symbolic meaning of the baptism is the burial. There are many examples of this throughout the Book of Acts.

Part 1 of 3 Hello Joe This scripture sums it up James 2 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Baptism is not only a work but a deed as well. The word work means activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. You make up your mind to follow Acts 2 38. You are putting for a physical effort to get the job done by being submerged in water according to the scriptures. The word deed means something that is done, an act or action.

Acts 2 38 does not say that baptism will save your soul..there are not different ways of salvation. In the Old and New testament times it has always been by Faith .. and since Baptism is a work something we do ,, we ARE NOT saved by works ..a work robs God of his Glory ,, God would owe us salvation if it was by Baptism .

So what do I think? Was there really a great "physical " wind the literally blew through the room turning over plates, bowls maybe tables? Did it blow curtains and clothing? Did it mess up the women 's hair? Well, maybe. But really I think vs 2 captures an idea of the force of the Holy Spirit. The cleansing of all unrighteousness that may have previously inhabited that area even though they were disciples. When the Holy Spirit moves, there is no room for the demonic. I think it also represents the fact that the Holy Spirit it just that, our Holy "Spirit ". The binding Spirit of the Trinity that also binds us together with Jesus as He is bound to our Father. It is the picture of the force of the Spiritual wind cleansing the air, bringing in the Power of the gifts of the Spirit and yet the coolness of a peaceful breeze that follows as we rest in His wings. John 3 3 talks of how we can hear the wind but have no idea where it comes from or where its going, we just no that it is. This too is our call in believing the movement of the Holy Spirit. We can feel Him, hear Him and be directed by Him even though we cannot see Him. Nor do we know where He has just come from or where we are going at that minute, we still know that He is there. Not just with power, but with peace.

Part 3 of 3 The 144,000 are men and women who did not take the mark of the beast. These are individuals taken out of every tribe of Israel not the Gentile nations. If you go to Revelation 7 4 thru 8 you will find that each tribe of Israel 12,000 was taken out of them this adds up to the 144,000. These individuals were sealed of God in their foreheads by the angels. All of this is after the rapture. There is no one walking around now with the seal of God in the foreheads, Revelation 7 3. Those who have followed Acts 2 38 are circumcised in their heart. We are waiting for the rapture. We will not go through the wrath that is to come, 1 Thessalonians 1 10.
